Course Development

1. Course/ Syllabus Development Process

  • All new or change proposals for courses/syllabi must be approved by the COPH Education Committee
  • For information on the course change process and time-lines, see the COPH Education Committee Curriculum Change Process document
  • New course or course change proposals should be started a minimum of two semesters prior to the proposed effective term. Some course updates (course number, name, delivery method for example) must be submitted via Curriculog in the fall and will become effective the following fall term.

2. Simple Syllabus

Starting in Spring 2025, COPH is expanding the use of Simple Syllabus for all courses offered by the college. Simple Syllabus is an online tool that will host course syllabi and link directly to the Canvas course site. This includes classroom, online, and hybrid courses.

For more information on creating or updating your syllabus, visit the Simple Syllabus Resources Canvas site or contact your ETA learning designer if you have questions.
